and left them?

You know the army.

- They've been here all this time?

- 14 years, as I recall.

No kidding?

There they are.

There's bodies in there?

Sh*t. Look at that.

- You say that thing was alive?

- So they say.

Oh, God.

- Do these things leak?

- Hell, no.

These things were made

by the US Army Corps of Engineers.

- Hello, dear. How was your day?

- The usual, crap.

I'm sorry.

- What's for dinner?

- Your favorite, lamb chops.

I had them for lunch.

It's me checking in

from Station 3 at 1600...

make that 1601 hours.

I'll be home all evening. Right.

It's nerve-racking to live

around that equipment all the time.

They have to be able to reach me

24 hours a day, wherever I am.

- You know that.

- All that microwave stuff affects my oven.

When we find them,

you can have it taken out.

- But when will you find them?

- Christ, Ethel, I don't know.

Maybe we'll never find them.

We've been through all this before.

They could be anywhere.

- Where the f*** are we going?

- To party.

To pick up Freddy.

- What the f*** is Freddy up to these days?

- He got a job.

- No sh*t? What job?

- He's a stockroom clerk.

That sounds like a shitty job.

It isn't the President of the US,

but he makes money to buy stuff.

- Maybe he'll buy something from me.

- He don't like your kind of stuff, Suicide.

How come you guys only come by

when you need a ride?

'Cause you one spooky motherf***er.

You think I'm spooky?

What the f*** do you think you are?

- Man, what a hideous, ugly place.

- I like it. It's a statement.

- Come on, let's go get the prick.

- No.

- Why not?

- It might freak out his boss.

That's not nice.

What does he think we are,

weird or something?

- What time does Freddy get off?

- 10:
00.

- I ain't sittin' here two f***in' hours.

- We could go drive around.

- I don't got gas. You wanna buy some?

- I was kidding.

- We could go fool around in there.

- You mean that cemetery?

Let's do that.

What do you want to do,

turn over gravestones?

No, I just want to look around

the graveyard.

I ain't never seen one before.

- You never been to a funeral?

- I never knew nobody that died.

I don't think this is a good idea.

- What's that?

- Road flares, ass-wipe.

- What do you want with those?

- I just want to party.

What are the road flares for?

This place is a mess.

- It looks like your pad, Scuz.

- I heard that.

Frank?

Are you okay, kid?

I don't know. I don't feel so good.

Christ, what a stink.

- What the hell happened to the body?

- It must have melted when it hit the air.

Close the goddamn thing.

Christ, I never smelled anything

like that before.

I think I'm gonna be sick.
